Leading the Way

We all make mistakes. We need to remember, though, that our mistakes and bad decisions do not define us. We also need to learn how to accept our mistakes, learn from them, and then move on.

There are times when I spend too many hours obsessing over things that I know are silly. Things like should I cut my hair short or keep it long? Does it matter? Does anyone care? Do YOU care? Probably not.

In this week's episode I share my dilemma AND my interpretation of what's really going on in my brain.

Some thoughts on the words we use to describe ourselves and how limiting they can be. I also offer a few tips on how to expand our vocabulary when it comes to choosing those adjectives and nouns that convey to the ourselves (and the world) who we are and what we have to offer.

Quick. Give me three words to describe yourself.

No, don't think about it too much. Just tell me what words pop into your head.

Got them? Three words? Good.

Now take a little time to think about them. Think about why they are your first thoughts. Then dig a little deeper to come up with a dozen or more other words to describe you.

Time management. There are books written on the topic; classes taught on the topic. It is something most of us want to become better at, but yet we don't have the time or take the time to figure out a better way to do things. Learn about my 5-Day Reclaim Your Time Challenge.

Time management. There are books written on the topic; classes taught on the topic. It is something most of us want to become better at, but yet we don't have the time or take the time to figure out a better way to do things.

In today's episode I am introducing a new audio challenge program that will soon be released (hopefully it will be available upon publication of this episode) to help you reclaim some wasted time in your day. The goal is to free up 30 to 60 minutes each day so you will have time to consistently pursue activities to improve your health, relationships, or overall sense of satisfaction with your life.

The time to reclaim your time is now!

Sometimes I get tired of hearing people say, "Quitting is not an option!"

Sometimes I believe that quitting IS an option. Sometimes I think quitting is the BEST option.

Sometimes I get tired of hearing people say, "Quitting is not an option!"

I get tired of hearing and reading the motivational quotations that urge me to continue traveling on whatever path I've taken to whatever destination I thought I wanted to reach.

Sometimes I believe that quitting IS an option. Sometimes I think quitting is the BEST option.

And that's the topic of this week's episode of Reflections of a Recovering Ugly Duckling.
